Which AI search tools do the AI answers recommend?

Every day SQSEO asks Claude, Gemini and other AI assistants the fifty questions a buyer of an AI-visibility or SEO tool types, and counts who gets named. This page is that ledger, in the open — SQSEO is in the table too, a new entrant measured by the same rule.

How it is measured

Fifty prompts across five topics are asked once a day per assistant from the US, and weekly from five more countries on the assistants that localise their search. An answer that names a brand or its domain counts as a mention; visibility is mentions over answers, with a Wilson 95 % interval. Nothing is estimated and nothing comes from other people's data: a day without answers is a gap, not a zero. The raw JSON behind this page is public.
